Who here still watches Sister Wives?

[Anonymous]

Kody has been bitter towards Meri since the whole catfish scandal. He’s never going to get over it. It showed how he’s not enough for her. She’s helpful with the kids, close with Robyn and had a solid income. That’s the only reason he hasn’t told her to leave.

This week we witnessed Robyn's 17 year old (her bio dad is a Jessup OMG) have a massive panic attack on air. She's a minor and TLC should not have allowed us to see this. Kody continues to show us that he is dumb as well as a bully.

I was horrified by that scene and she said it happens 1-2x a week!! Poor kid. She needs therapy or meds. Robyn probably thinks prayer and a hug will help.

I think she said 4-5 times a week! Kody said they are seeing a doctor about it. I guess on the next episode, we will find out whether or not God provided the rental.

They are always concerned about who (meaning the other sister wives) will be upset about something or stepping on each other's toes. Now, the impending marriages...Who thinks it's a good idea that their 19 year old is getting married?? Well, there would be NO more tuition payments if one of my kids made that choice.

That would be a really dumb response to that situation. Tuition would be all the more necessary.

I feel bad for Meri. She needs to just up and leave. I’m sure her sister wives would still have a relationship with her but Kody is a POS and will never treat her as good as the other 3.

Switched channel to this show tonight. Not usually a fan, but Truly learning to ride a bike. You go girl. Her body her choice!!! Love her!

Hoping to escape reality, so Sister Wives has been filling the void. I dislike Kody more by the day. How can he have no idea how to teach someone how to ride a bike? He has like 18 children, but somehow doesn't know their personalities.

Last episode was really scary with Maddie's baby being rushed from the birthing center to the hospital.

Previous episode with Meri and Kody's therapy session: I wonder what Kody meant when he said that Meri does not have good relationships with some of the older children? She seems to on the show? Also, Kody seems pretty "over" Meri.

There are strong feelings of equity. Meri would never take a smaller house because everyone else has a bigger one. In Vegas she could have built a smaller house but insisted on one with a wet bar because everyone had a bigger house.

She could totally live in an apartment or small house but she won’t. She feels like infertility screwed her from the life she wanted (many kids, Kody’s love) and so she should have 6 kids and so would have needed a big house so she should get it. I don’t disagree with her thinking in some ways but it shows they although they purport to think like one family, they all think about their nuclear families first.

This is it. It's also why plural marriage sounds pretty unattractive to me. Dealing with DH and DD and DS is enough for me. I couldn't handle dealing with DW and DW and DW too.

Yes, it’s ridiculous. Why she insisted on a 5+ BR house in Vegas made no sense to me. I’m sure she’ll do the same thing in Flagstaff or wherever they end up now that Utah decriminalized plural marriage.

And I can totally imagine her griping about the noise from the kids at the old house and down at the pond if she ends up getting that piece of property. She seems perpetually cranky.

I think Meri and Kody should get a divorce.

Robyn and Kody seem not far behind at this point. What a freakin mess.

I can't understand why none of the wives considered renting an apartment, especially the ones that don't have little kids. Who rents a house if they are trying to save $$?

When I can't sleep, I have been going back and watching earlier seasons of this show. Currently in Season 7. There are some older kids that I can't even remember. FYI: Meri was happy then (pre catfish). This show is truly some kind of sociology experiment.

I think Meri has always seemed kind of down about having only 1 child compared to the other wives, who all have many children. Despite only having 1 child (who was older, by that time), she had a large house built in Vegas and was living in a large rental house in Flagstaff.

Robyn seems to be pretty committed to the family as a whole, though.

I feel for Mei after the therapy session in Vegas. Kody basically saying he didn't realize who he was marrying and felt "deceived" into thinking she was different...also that she not only does not have a good relationship with him but also has conflict with some of the adult children...ouch!

Moat marriages crumble after reality TV. They should have stayed off TV and under the radar.
